[00:34.74]watching the planes land over the lake
[00:44.54]I wish they could hang in the air forever
[00:54.68]holding the patterns for days
[01:00.84]I hope they (hope they hope they)
[01:06.52]will be delayed forever
[01:29.37]standing alone at the gate
[01:37.02]she's late
[01:41.32]she's miles above somewhere, hovering
[01:49.84]why won't you write?
[01:54.76]write me a word to say
[01:59.07]tell me you miss my ways
[02:03.49]tell me you miss my face
[02:08.78]I never meant clip your pretty wings
[02:16.12]oh your pretty, oh your pretty wings
[02:26.42]you always knew it,
[02:28.68]you saw right through it,
[02:30.98]why'd you have to go?
[03:10.00]standing still at the gate
[03:17.70]and I ache (I ache I ache)
[03:21.96]my palms are not lace rising
[03:27.03]the wheels drop and she starts to descend
[03:35.46]and the runway will light her way
[03:42.92]she starts hovering
[03:48.05]and when she lands
[03:52.75]I race for the crashing ground
[03:57.08]the oxygen from the mask
[04:01.47]that only words mark the past
[04:06.96]I never meant clip your pretty wings
[04:14.27]oh your pretty, oh your pretty wings
[04:23.56]we'll be all right
[04:27.93]we'll be all right
[04:32.22]we'll be all right
[04:36.65]we'll be all right
[04:41.14]you always knew it,
[04:44.58]you saw right through it,
[04:47.05]why'd you have to?
